YOU SAY YOU DO THE MIGRATING PART OF THE SHOW. -- MIND READING PART OF THE SHOW. THAT’S PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THAT IN THE SHOW? HOW DOES IT WORK? >> I’VE BEEN DOING MIND REANGDI SINCE I WAS QUITE YOUNG. IT’S NOT LIKE I HAD SOME SORT OF PSYCHIC GIFT OR POWER, ATHNYING LIKE THAT. IT IS SKILLS, TECHNIQUES, TRICKS I HAVE TAUGHT MYSELF. ERYONEEV IS SET UP TO BE AN ACTOR. TO DISPROVE THAT, I HAVE A LITTLEOY T MONKEY. SOMEONE IS READILY SELECTED AND IS BROUGHT UP ON STAGE. YOU KNOW IT COULD BE YOU THAT COMES UP ON STAGE AND HAVE YOUR NDMI RIGHT AND YOU KNOW IT’S NOT SOME ACTOR OR STOOGE THAT WE ARE PAYING. WE GET THE NAME OF SOMEONE THEY ARE TNKHIING OF, THEY BEAT THEIR BEST FRIDEN FROM SCHOOL, THE LAST TIME THEY SAW THEM, ALL OF THESE PERSONAL DETAILS. IF PEOEPL HECKLE, I DO IT. JACK:IE WHAT ARE SOME TRICKSOR F YOURSELF OR SOME OTHER PERFORMERSHA TT USUALLY GET A BIG REACTION FROM THE CROWD? WHAT AR SOME OF THE POPULAR ONES? >>ES? WE GOT SOME OF THE GRAND ILLUSIONS IN THE SW,HO THANKS IS APPEARING AND BANISHING IN THE BLEAK OF AN EYE. WE HAVE FERNANDO DOING EVERY CHRISTNIA OF UDINESE WATER TORTEUR SHOW. HE HANGS UPSIDE DNOW IN A WATER TANK AND ESCAPES. IT’S EXTERNAL ERIC. -- IT IS EXTRAORDINARY. JACKIE: HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM A TRADITIONAL MAGIC SHOW THAT PEOPLE WOULD THINK OF? >> IF YOU THINK OF AIC MAG SHOW, YOU THINK OF A KIDS ENTERTAINER OR YOU THINK OF A GUY IN A TOP HAT PRODUCING DOVES. THERE IS NONE OF THAT. THIS IS THE 21ST CENTURY. WE HAVE A MIX OF THINGS. THERE IS THE MDIN READING. IF YOU DON’T LIKE THAT, THERE IS AN AMAZING CLOSE UP MAGICIAN. THE BEST THING ABOUT THE SHOW IS THERE IS A GROUP OF US, BUT MY FAVORITE PART IS WHEN WE ALL COME TOGETHER AND PERFORM TOGETHER. WE DO A 4 -- A FEW INTIMATE THINGS TOGETHER. WE BAR THISNG FROM THE AUDIENCE OR WE DO GRAND ILLUSIONS ALTOGETHER. NO OTHER SHOW DOES THAT. JACK:IE IT SOUNDS REALLY, REALLY COOL. U YOCAN PROBABLY TELL THAT I NEED TO WRAP UP THIS INTERVIEW, BUT YOU ALREADY KW NETHAT GOING IN. ALEX AND HIS TEAM IN FEBRUARY.
